Show Your Support for Wind Energy and Become a Friend of Wind!

The majority of Canadians support wind energy for its environmental, economic and social benefits. The Friends of Wind website was designed to give that often-silent majority tools to join the conversation and speak up about wind energy in their community. Visit the Friends of Wind website at:www.friendsofwind.ca.

Students entering post-secondary education were invited to submit a 300 word blog on the subject of wind energy for a chance to win bursaries of $250, $500 and $2,000. The contest closed on September 15th and the winners will be announced at CanWEA‚Äôs Annual Conference in October.¬† For more information on the contest, please visit:www.friendsofwind.ca.
